- Measurement and data: unit conversions, perimeter, area and volume, tables and graphs, mean, median, mode and range, relationships between variables.
How to win marks
The calculator does the arithmetic, not the setup. Most lost marks come from the wrong base for a percent, a proportion set up backwards or a unit converted the wrong way. Write what the question asks for first.

Questions people ask
Can I use a calculator on the TEAS?
Yes. A basic calculator is built into the test. You cannot bring your own.
Are unit conversions given on the TEAS?
Know the everyday ones, such as 12 inches in a foot and 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Our practice gives less common factors, such as 2.2 pounds in a kilogram, in the question.
